IHE new Governor of the State is re-

IN doing good and strengthening by wis

an honorable basis, and he thinks the neo-
pie to blame for a great deal in politics
that is disreputable. They do not come

is the only remedy but when bad men
get into Office the people then make UP for

the published statement of the Governor
that "every spare room in the Capitol is
laid under tribute for the care of the books,
which have cost the State immense sums
of money, and that a warehouse for the
books is inperatively needed" 1t is a
very strange condition in government
when a subordinate official can veto the
expressed will of the people, and reverse
the command of their representative body.
1t is more deplorable still to know that
this usurpation Of authority is exercised at
TIE expense of the people, to punish an
ether official fo- not agreeing with the
usurper upon a matter foreign to the sub
ject. When the Legislature gave the
Treasurer, with Others, power to approve
or reject plans and details Cor public build
ings, the intention, as plainly manifest
upon the face Of the law, was TO put
check upon any perversion Of the appro-
priation, or to plans being adopted that
would entail expense in excess of the APP
preparation, and to prevent weak and in
sufficient work being foisted upon the
State, and to insure the proper carrying
out Of the will of the Legislature. Here,
however We have the case of an official
misusing, his power to make the plans oc-
cord with the legislative design, and by
that misuse actually defeating and nullify
ing the design of the law making body. To
dozen people or more the Treasurer de-
clared that he refused approval of the
warehouse plans only because the Governor
declined to agree to the scheme of the adj
ditional jute mills; but he saw fit to per-
NIT this to be denied in his name, though
the charge is incontestably true, and can
be established by unimpeachable testi-
mony. The excuse was then made that he,
the Treasurer did not deem il wise to erect
the building first, because the books, stock
etc. could be stored in the basement of the
Capitol; secondly, because the sum appro-
priated is not large enough. Either of these
reasons is as bad as the first excuse. The
Treasurer has not been commissioned to
reverse the judgement of the Legislature :;
when he does so and defeats it, he usurps
authority, and it may be, lays himself open
to Impeachment. 1t is base misuse of his
Office, and would never be ventured upon by
man self-respecting, modest, or who
entertains due sense of the solemnity of
an oath of office and its binding obligation
upon him to obey the laws. The Treasur-
er Of the State of California has the right
to make himself ridiculous, but he has not
the right to check the operation of the law
or to set up his judgement in opposition to
the will of the Legislature.

Cramps of the Muscles Cured.

John l. Wood, of Stratford. Ont, was

Some three months ago l was taken very

brings them. They really have not, in
several branches of the municipal and
county governments, the power to say their
souls are their own, whenever that declsra-
ton crosses the purpose of the lords and
princes Of the High Court of Bossism. They

selves to blame, and perhaps they are

as they consent to perform only the Offices

THE SPARROW NUISANCE

Among the importations against which
there might well be invoked a prohibit
tory law, if that were possible, is the Eng
lish sparrow. The man who brought
over that one pair of the birds a few
years ago, may not have had revenges to
work upon this people, but if he had he
has accomplished them fully. In such a
large degree has the sparrow assailed
agricultural and other productive indus
tries in Ohio, that the Buckeye State has
been compelled to go down into its treasury
and offer bonus for dead sparrows. 1t
will not be long before such a policy will
become necessary in California, unless the
people unite in destroying the pestiferous
bird. 1t is very true that the sparrow has
proved the deadly enemy of several
classes of worms injurious to vegetable
growth, but it is certain that the worms
were more endurable than are the birds.
1t is only about sixteen years since the
sparrow was imported as worm-destroyer,
and now the problem is to find an antidote
for the remedy we invoked, for the rascallv
foreign bird has whipped and driven our
native small birds from the field, which
destroyed bugs and worms also, so that on
the whole we have more bug and worm
pests than in the first instance. Professor
Riley, United States Entomologist. was
appealed to by New Workers to know why
with the multiplication of English spar
rows there was also an increase Of such
caterpillars as attack full foliaged trees.
The scientist replied that the caterpillar
exudes an odor offensive to the sparrow:
besides his hairy body is Objectionable to
the bird, and hence he leaves the worm
untouched, while he seeks food in quarters
where he is not wanted. Said the Pro-
fessor:
The English sparrow was introduced into Bos-
ton sixteen years ago and has oyerrlln the
whole country until it has become nuisance
II has chased away the native American birds
which preyed upon other caterpillars than
those devoured by the sparrow.
The sparrows feed upon some of the smooth
SiSth MuIluS, ike lHe ChnkerWOrnS, which
used to be a great nuisance in Eastern States
ana keep that species in check 1t is all under
that general law of harmony in nature which
Keeps all species down to a certain limit in a
state OF nature This hairy caterpillar which
Is protected against the sparrow's attack, has
mad an opportunity to increase as the other
species have decreased, just in that proportion.
Being asked if he advised the destruc-
ton of the sparrows, he replied:

1t being suggested that possibly the
sparrow as fruit-pest destroyer may after
all compensate for his existence, Professor
Riley expressed positive convictions to the
contrary, and declared that the bird is an
impeachment rather than an aid to our
horticulturists

PROFESSOR HOLDEN has gone into the
prophetic business and, what is worse, is
out as rival in cryptography to Ignatius
Donnelly. The latter worked Bacon in
and Shakespeare out, because of the regu-
lar recurrence of certain words in the folio
edition of the plays. Professor Holden
finds that in 1lS years there have been
eleven earthquakes on this coast of some
moment, or one in about every eleven
years, and therefore we may experience
another shock eleven years from the date
of the last one. This is neither arithmeti-
cal nor logical. There are cycles, appa-
rently, of climatict events, but the history
of the earth's tremors does not establish
any periodicity that warrants belief in re-
turn of earthquakes at any regular periods.
Professor Holden in his ascertainment of
facts upon which to base the eleven-year
theory, excludes the minor tremblors.
This, we submit, is not fair all manifesto
tons Of disturbance of the earth's crust
should be taken into account To set
apart certain of them because of their
violence, and to reason from that basis to
regularity of occurrence, to the exclusion
of less violent Shakes" is to assume a
premise without sufficient reason.
